Comments:

In this flight report, you'll get a closer look at the new bridge connections providing access to José María Córdova International Airport, the domestic gates at Medellín Airport, and the VIP lounge, where I spotted various aircraft, including a Douglas DC-3 from the Colombian Police and a Beechcraft arriving. You'll also see Avianca, LATAM, JetSmart, and Wingo aircraft departing to and arriving from San Andrés, Bogotá, and Cartagena.

Additionally, I captured some international operations, such as JetBlue and Copa Airlines flying to Fort Lauderdale and Panama City. One interesting highlight was spotting a LATAM Airlines aircraft with a special Colombia livery arriving from Bogotá. I also caught this particular bird (reg. CC-BFE) during pushback.

For this flight, I had the opportunity to fly onboard an Airbus A320neo. The last time I flew on this type of aircraft was with Viva Colombia, and now I had the chance to experience it again with Avianca. Enjoy the full experience, including boarding, pushback, engine startup, LATAM Airlines and JetSmart operations, taxiing, and a powerful takeoff with the New Engine Option. Enjoy the ride!
